Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thos. D'arcy McGee: Sketch of His Life and Death
No doubt there were strong intellectual affinities between the mother and her son; and this. Sympathetic attraction created an indelible impression on the heart of the latter. The intellectual charts of the two minds were, we are inclined to think, marked with not dissimilar lines bold and deeply drawn in the case of the son, they were sketchily traced and delicately shaded in the instance of the mother. The subtle charm of. Divine poesy seems to have pervaded both; and this spell of fancy and feeling, of imagina tion and truth, may, in some sort, account for the magnetic attractions which governed the intercourse of the parent and child.
To talk about his mother is, as we have had occasion to observe, a source of unalloyed happiness to her son. As in a holiday in his boyhoo'd, the acids of controversy and the sharp edges of strife give place to expressions tipped with sunshine, when his lips can be beguiled into speaking of what his heart never ceases to feel.
